What is an Investment Portfolio?
In financial market, a portfolio generally refers to a collection of financial investments, such as bonds, stocks, commodities, etc. In fact, a portfolio can also include any tradable assets like real estate, art and private investments.
Why we need a portfolio?
The key concept in portfolio management is about diversification. It simply means not to put all your eggs in one basket.
Diversification tries to reduce risks by allocating investments across different
- financial instrument
- industry
- asset class
- region
- trading strategy
By investing in different areas, the underlying is expected to react differently to the same event and therefore the overall risk could be reduced.
What is portfolio allocation?
You may think of portfolio allocation as a pie divided into pieces of varying sizes. Each piece represents a different type of investment.
Investors aim to construct a well-diversified portfolio to achieve a risk-return balanced allocation that is appropriate for their risk tolerance level.
What to consider for constructing my portfolio?
There are many ways for portfolio allocation or diversification. Your target return, risk appetite, and financial constriants are all factors in deciding how to build your portfolio.
